My Heart Is Fixed

Author: Herbert Buffum Hymnal: Soul Inspiring Songs #154 (1929) First Line: My heart is fixed O God on Thee Refrain First Line: My heart is fixed O! God on Thee Lyrics: 1 My heart is fixed O God on Thee, No more my feet shall go astray; I caught a glimpse of Calvary, And now I walk with Christ today. Refrain: My heart is fixed O! God on Thee, My eyes are now on things above, From worldly yokes, Praise God I’m free, I’m running o’er with joy and love. 2 One time I wandered far away, I did not heed the Shepherd’s voice; My heart on God is fixed today, For He is my eternal choice. [Refrain] 3 My heart is fixed my face is set, Upon the prize that lies before; All other claims I will reject, My heart is fixed forevermore. [Refrain] 4 No longer tossed upon the waves, Of sin and doubt but now I sail; Within the life boat, Jesus saves, No storms against me shall prevail. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [My heart is fixed O God on Thee]
